Why I Love My Job

I enjoy finance and HH has a great employee culture and set of values that make me feel at home. Our culture tends to attract great clients, whom I truly enjoy serving. While we are not a fit for all, we do tend to attract people who share certain values and work well with us.

Fun Fact

I love being out in nature.  If you offered me a chance to hike, camp, fish or do archery, I would be there in a moment’s notice.  My parents used to refer to me as “nature boy” when I was a kid and it hasn’t gone away.
